Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with RULES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The staff grants in part a
rulemaking petition filed by Shamrock
Communications, Inc., by deleting
vacant FM Channel 297A at Nevada
City, California. However, the staff
denies Shamrock’s proposal to allot
Channel 297A at Mineral, California,
because the city-grade (70 dBu) contour
of this proposed allotment does not
encompass entirely the boundaries of
Mineral as required under the
Commission’s Rules. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, infra.
DATES: Effective June 22, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202)
418–2180.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
synopsis of the Commission’s Report
and Order, MB Docket No. 09–9,
adopted May 6, 2009, and released May
8, 2009. The full text of this Report and
Order is available for inspection and
copying during normal business hours
in the FCC Reference Information Center
(Room CY–A257), 445 12th Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20554. The complete
text of this decision may also be

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making
in this proceeding solicited comment on
deleting the Nevada City allotment. See
74 FR 7847 (February 20, 2009). No
parties filed comments expressing an
interest in retaining or applying for this
vacant allotment. In addition,
Shamrock’s rulemaking petition was
filed as part of a hybrid application and
rulemaking proposal involving
Shamrock’s concurrently filed minor
change application (File No. BMPH–
20071108ACY). In this application,
Shamrock proposes the reallotment of
Channel 297C from Alturus, California,
to Fernley, Nevada, and the associated
modification of its construction permit
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:09 May 26, 2009
Jkt 217001
for a new FM station at Alturus. The
modification of the Alturus construction
permit is contingent upon the deletion
of the Nevada City allotment. The
Report and Order notes that Shamrock’s
application is being granted
simultaneously with the release of the
Report and Order.
The Report and Order does not
contain proposed information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. In addition, therefore, it does not
contain any proposed information
collection burden ‘‘for small business
concerns with fewer than 25
employees,’’ pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4). The Commission will send a
copy of the Report and Order in this
proceeding in a report to be sent to
Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).

RIN 2130–AB99
Amendments Updating the Address for
the Federal Railroad Administration
and Reflecting the Migration to the
Federal Docket Management System
AGENCY: Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: FRA is amending a number of
its regulations to update the address of
the physical headquarters of FRA and
the U.S. DOT in Washington, DC. FRA
is also amending references to the
Central Docket Management System
(DMS) to reflect DOT’s migration to the
Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS). This rule also modifies
requirements for submitting petitions to
the Railroad Safety Board, to make the
requirements consistent with current
FRA practice. Lastly, this rule updates
outdated authority citations and
removes parts for which authority no
longer exists.
DATES: Effective May 27, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elizabeth A. Gross, Trial Attorney,
Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue, SE., Mail Stop 10,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone 202–
493–1342), elizabeth.gross@dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
December 2007, FRA moved its offices
to the new U.S. DOT Headquarters
located at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590. This final rule
updates 49 CFR subtitle B, chapter II to
accurately reflect the new address of
FRA and DOT. This address change
only affects FRA offices previously
located at 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20590 and the DOT
Headquarters previously located at 400
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC
20590. FRA offices located elsewhere
are not affected. Additionally, on
October 26, 2007, all data on DOT’s
Central Docket Management System
migrated to the Federal Docket
Management System. This rule amends
outdated references to DOT’s Docket
Management System in order to
accurately reflect DOT’s conversion to
the new docket system. This rule also
changes requirements for submitting
E:\FR\FM\27MYR1.SGM
27MYR1
25170
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 27, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
petitions to the Railroad Safety Board, to
make clear that only one copy of a
petition needs to be submitted instead
of three, and that petitions should be
submitted to the Docket Clerk instead of
the Secretary of the Railroad Safety
Board.
This rule also updates outdated
authority citations that were either
repealed or were from a prior version of
the United States Code. It also removes
part 201, ‘‘Formal Rules of Practice for
Passenger Service,’’ which prescribed
procedures for FRA consideration of
proposals to increase speed or add
trains pursuant to subsections 402(f)
and (h) of the Rail Passenger Service Act
of 1970, Public Law 91–518, 84 Stat.
1335. DOT’s authority for this part was
transferred to the Surface
Transportation Board in section 213 of
the Passenger Rail Investment and
Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law
110–432, Div. B, 122 Stat. 4848 (2008).
This rule also removes part 245,
‘‘Railroad User Fees’’ which imposed a
schedule of fees on railroads to cover
the costs incurred by FRA in
administering the Federal Railroad
Safety Act of 1970, Public Law 91–458,
84 Stat. 971. Under 49 U.S.C. 20115(e),
the statutory authority for this part
expired in 1995. Lastly, the rule
removes the name of a former FRA
Administrator.
Public Participation
This is a final rule and there has been
no notice of proposed rulemaking or
opportunity for public comment. The
amendments are administrative in
nature and merely correct outdated
references and amend procedures for
submitting petitions to the Railroad
Safety Board. FRA is not exercising its
discretion in a way that could be
informed by public comment. As such,
FRA finds that notice and public
comment procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest’’ under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B). For the same reasons, FRA
has determined that there is good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making these
amendments effective upon publication.
Regulatory Impact
PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with RULES
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This final rule has been evaluated in
accordance with existing policies and
procedures. It is not considered a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866 and was not
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget. This rule is also not
significant under the Regulatory Policies
and Procedures of the Department of
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:09 May 26, 2009
Jkt 217001
Transportation (44 FR 11304). This rule
merely updates outdated references to
FRA’s address and docket system, and
makes de minimis changes to
procedures for submitting petitions to
the Railroad Safety Board. As such, the
economic impact of this final rule is
minimal and preparation of a regulatory
evaluation is not warranted.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule has been analyzed in
accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13132 (‘‘Federalism’’). This final rule
does not have a substantial effect on the
States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore,
preparation of a Federalism assessment
under Executive Order 13132 is not
warranted.
C. Executive Order 13175
This final rule has been analyzed in
accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13175 (‘‘Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments’’).
Because this final rule does not
significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of the Indian tribal
governments and does not impose
substantial direct compliance costs, the
funding and consultation requirements
of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
FRA certifies that this final rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. This final rule only corrects
outdated references to the address of
FRA and DOT, updates references to
DOT’s docket system, and changes
procedures for submitting petitions to
the Railroad Safety Board.
G. Environmental Assessment
There are no significant
environmental impacts associated with
this final rule.
H. Energy Impact
According to definitions set forth in
Executive Order 13211, there will be no
significant energy action as a result of
the issuance of this final rule.

[Docket No. FRA-2008-0128]
RIN 2130-AB99
Amendments Updating the Address for the Federal Railroad
Administration and Reflecting the Migration to the Federal Docket
Management System
AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FRA is amending a number of its regulations to update the
address of the physical headquarters of FRA and the U.S. DOT in
Washington, DC. FRA is also amending references to the Central Docket
Management System (DMS) to reflect DOT's migration to the Federal
Docket Management System (FDMS). This rule also modifies requirements
for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board, to make the
requirements consistent with current FRA practice. Lastly, this rule
updates outdated authority citations and removes parts for which
authority no longer exists.
DATES: Effective May 27, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth A. Gross, Trial Attorney,
Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Mail Stop
10, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone 202-493-1342),
elizabeth.gross@dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In December 2007, FRA moved its offices to
the new U.S. DOT Headquarters located at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590. This final rule updates 49 CFR subtitle B,
chapter II to accurately reflect the new address of FRA and DOT. This
address change only affects FRA offices previously located at 1120
Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20590 and the DOT Headquarters
previously located at 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.
FRA offices located elsewhere are not affected. Additionally, on
October 26, 2007, all data on DOT's Central Docket Management System
migrated to the Federal Docket Management System. This rule amends
outdated references to DOT's Docket Management System in order to
accurately reflect DOT's conversion to the new docket system. This rule
also changes requirements for submitting
[[Page 25170]]
petitions to the Railroad Safety Board, to make clear that only one
copy of a petition needs to be submitted instead of three, and that
petitions should be submitted to the Docket Clerk instead of the
Secretary of the Railroad Safety Board.
This rule also updates outdated authority citations that were
either repealed or were from a prior version of the United States Code.
It also removes part 201, ``Formal Rules of Practice for Passenger
Service,'' which prescribed procedures for FRA consideration of
proposals to increase speed or add trains pursuant to subsections
402(f) and (h) of the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, Public Law
91-518, 84 Stat. 1335. DOT's authority for this part was transferred to
the Surface Transportation Board in section 213 of the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 110-432, Div. B, 122
Stat. 4848 (2008). This rule also removes part 245, ``Railroad User
Fees'' which imposed a schedule of fees on railroads to cover the costs
incurred by FRA in administering the Federal Railroad Safety Act of
1970, Public Law 91-458, 84 Stat. 971. Under 49 U.S.C. 20115(e), the
statutory authority for this part expired in 1995. Lastly, the rule
removes the name of a former FRA Administrator.
Public Participation
This is a final rule and there has been no notice of proposed
rulemaking or opportunity for public comment. The amendments are
administrative in nature and merely correct outdated references and
amend procedures for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board.
FRA is not exercising its discretion in a way that could be informed by
public comment. As such, FRA finds that notice and public comment
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest'' under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). For the same reasons, FRA has
determined that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making
these amendments effective upon publication.
Regulatory Impact
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This final rule has been evaluated in accordance with existing
policies and procedures. It is not considered a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866 and was not reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget. This rule is also not significant under the
Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation
(44 FR 11304). This rule merely updates outdated references to FRA's
address and docket system, and makes de minimis changes to procedures
for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board. As such, the
economic impact of this final rule is minimal and preparation of a
regulatory evaluation is not warranted.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This
final rule does not have a substantial effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. Therefore, preparation of a Federalism assessment under
Executive Order 13132 is not warranted.
C. Executive Order 13175
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule
does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of the Indian
tribal governments and does not impose substantial direct compliance
costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order
13175 do not apply.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
FRA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final
rule only corrects outdated references to the address of FRA and DOT,
updates references to DOT's docket system, and changes procedures for
submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board.
E. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains no new information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
F. Compliance With the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This final rule will not result in the expenditure, in the
aggregate, of $132,300,000 or more in any one year by State, local, or
Indian Tribal governments, or the private sector, and thus preparation
of a statement is not required.
G. Environmental Assessment
There are no significant environmental impacts associated with this
final rule.
H. Energy Impact
According to definitions set forth in Executive Order 13211, there
will be no significant energy action as a result of the issuance of
this final rule.
